The number of minutes the system waits between retry attempts. The retry
interval ranges from 1 to 60 minutes. The default Fax system retry interval
time is 10 minutes.
The fax retry interval is used in two ways:
1. You send a fax to a single party (fax machine), but that fax machine is
busy. The fax transmission is retried after the fax retry interval. (The default
is 10 minutes.)
2. There are not enough resources to send the fax. For example, you send
a fax to three parties, but your BCM configuration only supports two
simultaneous fax sessions. The third fax is sent after the retry interval. (The
default is 10 minutes.)
You can change the Number of retries and the Retry interval to optimize
the rate of faxes being sent. For short faxes a lower Retry Interval works
more efficiently. For longer faxes, which might take hours to send, you do
not want to run out of retries. A higher number of retries would be better.
You decide what types of faxes are typical for your business, and then set
the Number of retries and Retry interval accordingly.
You can send the system cover page or a custom cover page with fax
messages. You can create or select a template for the custom cover page.
